injector install??
My truck has been sitting injectorless for 3 weeks now. Do I still need to clean out the cylinders,or would of it all leaked past by now.

Doesn't hurt to turn the engine over. I just put the valve cover on and put 1-2 bolts finger tight to hold the valve cover on and got a big ratchet and cranked the engine over a few turns. It might have leaked past the rings by now but its better to be safe than sorry.

I would have suctioned it out before letting it sit. That's a lot of fuel that has worked it's way down to the crank case.
I'd turn the crank with a breaker bar a couple of times, then bump it with the starter with the engine disabled.
